Help me. How can I maximize my MCAT score with one month left?

Question 🤔🤔

Does anyone have advice on how to study for the MCAT with only one month remaining?

Please excuse me if this sounds desperate, but this exam means a great deal to me. I became chronically ill near the beginning of undergrad, which made studying extremely difficult. For a long time, doctors and family did not believe me or provide much help. I had to retake many courses, and my transcript now looks very different from what I believe I am academically capable of.

My MCAT is in one month, and I see it as an opportunity to prove to myself that I am still the student I used to be (and of course get into medical school). I have very few commitments during this period and am prepared to devote almost all of my time to studying.

I would estimate that I already know around 80% of the content from previous coursework and independent reading, although I still need to review and consolidate it. I have access to the full UWorld question bank and all of the AAMC materials.

I took my first diagnostic exam before beginning any dedicated preparation and scored a 504.

What would be the best way to use this final month to achieve the highest score possible? Is aiming for a very high percentile unrealistic from this starting point?
